| Summary | "Uther and Igraine" by Warwick Deeping is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the legendary Arthurian lore, focusing on the characters Uther Pendragon and Igraine, offering readers a mix of historical context and fictional narrative set during a tumultuous time for Britain. The story begins amidst chaos, gang violence, and the burning of an abbey, all while highlighting Igraine's character, who stands out for her independence and defiance against fear. At the start of the narrative, readers encounter a group of women hiding from impending danger as their abbey burns in the distance, forced to choose between remaining and facing certain death or fleeing for their lives. Among them, the novice Igraine emerges as a strong-willed leader who rejects passivity and instead takes charge, urging her companions to escape into the woods. The opening depicts her struggle against external threats and her internal conflict regarding her place in a world consumed by conflict, making her a compelling protagonist whose journey into the unknown is fraught with danger and determination.
